Although the leadership of LaLiga is not at risk, Bar\u00e7a know that they cannot leave points in the coming weeks if they want to reach the last days depending on themselves to be champions.<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

After defeating it in the batch of penaltis in the Supercopa, the FC Barcelona<\/a> reencontrar\u00e1 a pair of weeks afterwards with the Betis. In a party reprogramado of the Day 17, as the one who will contest Real Madrid<\/a> and Valency this Thursday, the cul\u00e9s will complete like this his calendar of the first turn of LaLiga, trying keep or expand his advantage in the first place of the tournament.<\/strong><\/p>

The visit to a field like the Villamar\u00edn never is simple for any team, and this includes to the ones of Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez. However, the good news for the cul\u00e9s is that if we take into account the direct clashes between both teams, is evident that the blaugranas are the favourites. And it is that they have achieved the victory in 17 occasions in the last 22 clashes, whereas the b\u00e9ticos only have added the three points in two occasions in this lapse.<\/strong><\/p>

The bad news for the Bar\u00e7a will be in that it will be the first -of several- split that they will have to play without Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9. The French went out lesionado the past Saturday in Girona and will be returning in some 4 or 5 weeks if all evolves properly. The absence of the extreme definitively will weigh, but the technical body looks forward to to show that has the necessary alternatives to keep on being solids in LaLiga.<\/strong><\/p>

It reappears the goleador<\/h4>

The fall of Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 goes to be countered with the return of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres to the championship after fulfilling his respective sanctions. The ‘9’ Polish will be to title in the field b\u00e9tico, probably beside the Spanish attacker, and will set up his capacity to be a constant threat for any rival, inside and out of the area.<\/strong><\/p>

The ex Bayern great already 13 goals in League and after losing 3 dates of the championship, wants to go back what before to help to the team. The Bar\u00e7a takes out 5 points of the advantage to the Madrid and expects to close of definite way the first turn of the championship with this same advantage, or ideally be able to expand it all what was possible thinking in that the calendar will heat increasingly. <\/strong><\/p>

It spoke the m\u00edster<\/h4>

Xavi went through the room of press and left clear what expects of the crash in front of the ones of Pellegrini, a technician that the egarense knows very well of his stage like player cul\u00e9. “It serves us of a lot the party of the Supercopa. Pellegrini Varies very little his system and works him a lot, have a lot of talent and with balloon is of the best teams of LaLiga. Have differential players and of a lot of level. It will cost us a lot in his stadium but have to impose the fact to have the balloon. It will be very important to keep the possession and follow attacking”, <\/strong>explained Xavi.<\/p>

Before finalising his intervenci\u00f3 wanted equally do emphasis in the injury of Demb\u00e9l\u00e9. “It is an important and sensitive drop. It is an injury in a difficult musculature to foresee because it is in a zone complicated. It was in a moment of confidence and extraordinary game, generated us differences and an important defensive work<\/strong>“, sentenced.<\/p>
